Canterbury 12 Blackheath 41
Photos courtesy of Deborah Lloyd Seven tries for Blackheath as they complete their pre-season programme and, perhaps equally significant given 15 leaked in the three previous warm-ups, just two conceded, albeit against a Canterbury side shorn of a few of their first-choice backs.
